🩺 What is Telma-AMH Tablet?
Telma-AMH Tablet is a triple combination medicine used to effectively manage high blood pressure (hypertension) when dual therapy alone (such as Telma-AM or Telma-H) isn’t sufficient.
It contains three active ingredients — Telmisartan, Amlodipine, and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) — which work together to control blood pressure, improve blood flow, and prevent complications like heart attack, stroke, or kidney damage.

💡 How Telma-AMH Works
Each ingredient in Telma-AMH plays a key role:
Telmisartan (ARB): Relaxes blood vessels and prevents them from tightening.
Amlodipine (Calcium Channel Blocker): Smoothens blood vessel walls, improving oxygen flow.
Hydrochlorothiazide (Diuretic): Helps remove extra salt and water from the body.
Together, these actions lower blood pressure, reduce fluid overload, and protect the heart from overwork.
